Introduction
A covered front entryway is the perfect, practical way to add curb appeal and function to your home. Here's how to build one.Build Some Cover
Many houses in my neighborhood feature a plain entryway stoop with two or three steps. Kinda bland — and impractical. I’ll drive by and see homeowners carrying bags of groceries getting soaked in the rain as they struggle to open the front door. A covered home entryway would keep these folks dry and add a shady place to sit on summer afternoons.
When designed and built right, this covered, comfy entry will lift a home’s curb appeal through the roof!
Note: Before you begin, check with local building officials for frost-footing depth, necessary permits and the sizing of beams, footings, posts and rafters.
